The media build tree
contains a building system that allows its compilation with older kernels,
for test, plus a system to download the latest drivers.
Don't use it for production, as the backport procces is to
just check if compilation doesn't break with older kernels. The drivers might
not work properly, as they're not consistently tested on older kernels.

All the above repositories, plus other repositories with developer experimental trees are available at:

How to build the v4l-dvb kernel modules from the backport tree

The v4l-dvb tree is backwards compatable against recent vanilla kernels.
Kernel version 2.6.10 or later is required to build the dvb modules, and
version 2.6.12 or later is required to build support for hybrid devices.

Change into the v4l-dvb directory:

cd v4l-dvb

Build the modules:

make

Install the modules:

make install

If you get errors in relation to unresolved symbols,
please try to reboot before filing an error report.

optional:

To clean the source tree:

make clean

To clean the build configuration:

make distclean

To remove (rmmod) all modules at once from the running kernel (in memory):

make unload

To insert (insmod) all modules at once into the running kernel, without the need to install them:

make load

To perform the two commands above in a single step:

make reload

Browse the Legacy CVS Repository Online

You can browse the files in the CVS repository with viewcvs. You can also
download on-the-fly generated tarballs, but please use this feature sparingly
as it puts a high load on the machine. If you find yourself downloading the
newest sources regularly you should consider using anon-cvs access, as described above.

To browse the video4linux CVS select the "v4l" tree in the upper right
of the viewcvs page, or use the link below.
